B it known that l, Gnnnn'r'r SrsivAnT Barren mum]. z'L subject n." he King of Great Britain. residing in. the town of Siluli Ste. Marie. in the Province of Ontario. in the lilorninion of Canada, hiwe invented certnin new and useful Improvements in Brushes, of which the l'ollowiug is u specification.

My invention rel; 'cs to iniprmseincntsin brushes :llKl the object of the invention is to provide 21, rung-o.- zine brush for sin ing and other purposes. which fillttll arriving will be effected of too soap or other preparation used, and it. consists essentially in the novel construction and ur- .tion not inclosed in the inner flimsy tube, though this is unlikely in the present invention. 7

j is the bristle base formed with the band, portion 1;

.gripping the bristles l, as custom-dry, and having the interior wall corresponding to the threaded nipple 'i of the tube it and in which said nipple is inserted. The opening it leads into the pipe entendingcentrally o to a bristle base and the said hollow handle forms it.

' 5 oi'a portion of the casing or h l sl '5) and closed it? one end. though it nun-r. be understood 0 orlight spring metal though any material having resiliinto the bunch of bristles which surround the opening it. The pipe 0 prefernbl y forms pnrt with the base and is for the purpose of directing the preparation from the 7 0 tube It into the center of the bunch or bristles. in the operation of this invcmioh, the casing forni- 4 ing the hollow handle in its open position is slipped over the tube It having a suitable preparation therein,

the said tube having previously been secured to the bristle base j by the nipple screwedlinto the opening 12.. The tube h is of a suitable size tolfit snugly in the casing a. The basej is secured to the handle by screw ing the F3 id base into the ringf tightly so asto bring the (lat. bottom of the bristle base to. tlie flet top edge of the casing a. It will he thus seen that the casing a when secured to the bristle base is made substantially airtight except the air orifice (1 controlled by the flap vulvc (Z, consequently any pressure inwardly on the casing a. will pneumatically exert, pressure on the tube it. in Lt siniilnr manner to'the displacemen operation in til: oil can.
